Chapter 12

Kagome Wakes Up

Kagome (After Inuyasha left)

Kagome laid on her bed not moving or responding to anything. Then all of a sudden she sat up and screamed. "SIT!!!" Then she fell back on her bed and started to cry.

Inuyasha

All of a sudden, as Inuyasha raced back to Kaade's hut, he heard Kagome's sit and fell flat on his face. The sit was so strong that it plunged him two feet into the ground. He lay there in pure agony un able to move for ten whole minutes.

Finally he was able to get out of the whole he was certain Kagome had stuck him in. Just as he climbed out Miroku hit him across the head with his staff. " Hey what was that for," he growled.

"That, Inuyasha, was for upsetting Sango. This," he hit him again, "is for making her mad at me."

Inuyasha rubbed his head and growled absently at the monk. I wonder if she told him about me and Kikyo? Inuyasha started towards the hut again not watching to see if the monk had followed. He had.

"Inuyasha what did you do to make Sango cry? When she got back to camp she was hysterical." Inuyasha stopped, then continued walking as if he didn't hear. Miroku continued, "When I asked her what was wrong she screamed at me and said she hated men and me most of all."

When he heard this he stopped and looked at Miroku with pity. He knew how much he loved Sango and hated that it he was causing them trouble. Should I tell him? Would he understand?

Inuyasha sat down and told Miroku to follow suit. When they were both settled he recounted the details of his and Kikyo's earlier encounter and how Sango caught them. Then he told him why he was recently in a hole. "...all of a sudden I heard her voice. And then I was in that hole. It was like she knew or something. I need to go see her."

" I think that's best," he said, his hands clasped in his lap. "You go to Kagome and I'll take care of Sango." They stood and went back to the hut. Miroku went to Sango and Inuyasha continued to the well. Kagome I'm coming, he thought as he jumped in...

Kagome

" I hate you! I hate you Inuyasha," she screamed as her mother and brother tried to calm her. She had been crying for twenty minutes without end and the more they tried to calm her the e louder her cries become.

"Kagome, please," her mother begged. "Please stop screaming. Please!" It didn't help. Kagome only cried harder. The pain in her untamable sobs were so tangible that her mother had to leave the room. If she didn't she too would break down.

"Sota, I don't know how much more of this I can take."

He put his arm around her should and led her down stairs. He deposited her on the couch and said, " I know." He went to the kitchen for a glass of water and an Advil. All of his sister's wailing gave him a migraine and the fact that he hadn't ate for two hours hadn't helped. So he set to work fixing himself a sandwich.

He walked back into the living room and saw Inuyasha walk through the front door. He almost dropped his plate and his sandwich with it. He was overcome by pure anger. Inuyasha had hurt his sister and had the nerve to show up like he was wanted there. "What do you want Inuyasha? Can't you see, hear, that you've done enough? Why can't you just stay gone?"

"Sota stop talking like that this minute. He is your sister's husband and he is welcome here as long as they are together!" She was now standing. " Inuyasha, I think that maybe you should wait until she has calmed down, before you see her."

"When I left she was... was... I don't know. What happened?" The concern was plastered on his face. He didn't wait for the 'I don't know' from his mother-in-law. He bounded up the stairs and to Kagome's room.

Kagome and Inuyasha

The moment Inuyasha walked through the threshold of her room she quieted. I won't let him see me cry, she thought. She wiped her tears and set up. " What do you want," she said. Her tone was cold and accusing; like ice.

The question froze the words froze the words on Inuyasha's tongue. He opened his mouth and closed it again like a fish gasping for air. Then he said, "Kikyo..."

Before he could finish the statement Kagome yelled, " SIT!" She stood up and walked over to him. "I knew it. You went to her the minute I was out of the way. You went to her."

"Wait," he said. " It's not like that. I just ran into to her. I told her ..."

"You told her what, Inuyasha? That you loved her and that I was just a mistake." Kagome didn't wait for an answer. She ranted on, " Is that what you told her, huh? Is that..."

Inuyasha lost his temper. " Shut up and let me finish winch," he growled. His eyes started to turn red. Kagome quickly shut her mouth and sat down. "I told her," he took a breath, " that we were done forever. That I wouldn't ever see her again and that I love you." He looked at Kagome. "That's what I told her."

He pulled her off the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist. She looked away. "Look at me Kagome." She shook her head. He placed his hand on her chin and made her look at him. She was crying. " Kagome I'm so sorry. For everything. I'm sorry."

"Stop it Inuyasha," she said through her tears. She pulled away. " Can you promise me that nothing like this will ever happen again? Can you promise me that we won't just happen to meet Kikyo one day in passing? Can you promise me that you won't remember the way you used to love her?"

" I can try, but..."

" I thought so. Listen. I love you, but I won't go through this again. I need time to think. Just give me time." Kagome had crossed the room and was now standing at her window, staring at the horizon.

"Okay. Time. You want it you got." Inuyasha turned to leave. He said over his shoulder, " I love you."

"I know. I just need time."

Okay so I know a lot of you will have something to say about this one. I am asking for 8 reviews this time but will accept 9. Let me know what you think. I'm not sure what to do next.
